December 2007
I’m ready to bring in the new year with some shrimp fried rice, wontons, and the woman that I love way more than delicious Chinese food.
@Scobleizer I just signed up for Utterz myself, and I look forward to redoing my data plan with my cell carrier to post thru Qik. You’re …
My Vote/Best Year Ever →
The winner, TECHNOVIKING!
Go Pack, Go!! →
It’s Playoff time! Green Bay will host either the Seahawks, Giants, or Bucs depending on this weekend’s wildcard action. Bring ‘em on, there is nothing more imposing than having to visit the frozen tundra of Lambeau field in early January. Go Pack!!!

2007 Has Vanished! →
I’m getting to the point where it feels like I just did my 2005 and 2006 years in review yesterday. This year has really flown too. Thanks to my blog, I can recap all the highlights of my year for everyone to relive, again. We are definitely in strained times in a scary world, but we all made it another year intact. Here’s my last twelve months, in review…random style!

I’m watching Chuck on Hulu because I am not awake yet and my brain couldn’t handle anything with depth.

This was me at New Year’s last year. Let’s see if I’m half as silly this year. Some advice: The Vader helmet backwards will always result in FAIL.
7 Things That Only Make Sense When You're Drunk →
Most of you have been there (and those of you too young to drink will soon find out for yourselves): you’ve had too much to drink and suddenly, drunk-logic takes hold of your mind. This is when you see start to see things in a different light and things that normally wouldn’t make sense when you’re sober suddenly seem like a totally good idea…
I got everything for dinner tonite. We’re having taco salad. I’m just realizing I forgot the chips, though (pouty face)

Pack win! Green Bay finishes the year 13-3. I’m so proud to be a cheesehead, especially this year. How awesome would it be if the Packers were Super Bowl bound?
Fun Ways to Live Longer [Health] →
Living healthier and longer doesn’t have to mean salads and treadmills. Behavior expert Mark Stibich recommends a few “fun” healthy additions to your habits and diet, like drinking red wine, eating dark chocolate, smiling (even when you don’t want to), sleeping enough, and having more sex. These sound like New Year’s resolutions that are easy to keep.
Fun Ways to...
I’ve seen @korym using Twitterfox, now I’m giving it a try. Pretty neat so far (I am using this with the beta version of Firefox tho).
Why can’t there be breakfast delivery?

MikeLewis: Last NFL picks week of the year. Next... →
Last NFL picks week of the year. Next week I’ll post how I did and my picks for the playoffs. Thanks, everyone for humoring me. Steelers, and Bucs win, and I guess I’ll call the Redskins beating the Cowboys as my upset of the week, kinda.
New England Patriots go 16-0 in a win vs the... →
Tom Brady broke the season touchdown record as well as Randy Moss breaking the season touchdown catch record.
OMG go Giants!! TOUCHDOWN!!
Go Giants! I cannot live out the years of my life hearing over and over how the Patriots are potentially the best team ever. They are not!!!

The RIAA is right →
I see a lot of you are pissed off at the RIAA for saying that you can’t rip your own CDs.
Me? I think they are right.
Why?
1. Cause no one should copy Britney Spears, not to mention listen to her. The RIAA is doing us a service by making sure we don’t listen to her. Oh, and the RIAA is so brilliant that they brought us Britney in the first place (and now Hannah Montana) and that’s evidence...
I’ve finally caught up with Heroes. Dammit that’s good stuff! I need the writer’s strike to end now so I can have more more more!
RIAA suing citizen for copying legally purchased... →
“Ira Schwartz, the industry’s lawyer in the case, is arguing that MP3 files created on his [Jeffrey Howell’s] computer from legally purchased CDs are indeed “unauthorized copies,” and while we’ve no idea what will become of all this, we suppose you should go on and wipe those personal copies before you too end up in handcuffs.”
Phew, Dad had me running all over the place, Toys R Us then lunch at Long John Silvers. He taught me how to use the mobile interwebs! Smart!
Heading out to meet Dad to do some last minute Christmas shopping for my nephew. I should probably get something too…

The Christmas Remix →
If I keep putting off my recap of Christmas, it won’t change the fact that I need to do my Christmas recap. I’ll have a New Year’s recap next week after Janine and I get back from Maryland. Christmas Eve, Janine and I celebrated with her Mom at her house with her family. It’s always a good time and I’ve become really attached with everyone. We all bring in food to...
I have a pound of meat and don’t know what to do with it.
RIP: Netscape Navigator (1994-2008) →
Netscape Navigator, once the de rigeur browser for more than 90% of web users, will no longer be supported by current owner AOL after February 2008. Link. Post your ode to this code in the comments. Extra points if you can manage to refer to yourself as a “netizen” with a straight face. (thanks Bill)
Nintendo Wii fully hacked for native homebrew →
Filed under: Gaming
The homebrew scene hasn’t gotten a whole lot accomplished with this latest round of home consoles — which isn’t surprising given the difficulty of the task and lack of incentives to succeed. Especially with the PS3 shipping with Linux compatibility, the Wii boasting VLC, and the 360 being such a chore to hack and keep hacked, there’s really not much...

At a Bethlehem church built over the manger where Jesus was alleged to have been born, two groups of “robed and bearded” Greek Orthodox priests and Armenian priests fought each other for over an hour “using fists, brooms and iron rods as weapons.” Seven people were injured in the brawl.
The brawl apparently began when Greek Orthodox priests set up ladders to clean the...

Some of us have a great eye for complementary colors and matches—and then some of us still don’t understand why brown shoes and black pants are a bad idea. For anyone looking to set an image against a complementary background or find a color scheme, Whats Its Color (their grammar, not mine) is a free web app that can help. Upload an image and the site creates a palette page with a...

Windows only: If you find yourself ejecting a number of USB devices before shutting down, or if you’re just tired of clicking through warnings and messages from Windows’ default device removal tool, USB Disk Ejector might be worth checking out.

Filed under: GPS
Maybe next year they can just spring for an RFID baby Jesus. The folks in Florida noticed that their GPS-equipped baby Jesus we mentioned the other day was missing from his nativity, and fired up the old GPS tracker. Turns out they didn’t have to look far: baby Jesus had been swiped Wednesday night and brought to a house across the street from the nativity. Deputies showed...

Dear Random Person →
I’m going to start a new feature to my blog, I’m sure it’s not original, and it’s probably pretty rude, but the release will keep me from backhanding people, so I see this as an exercise in restraint. Dear Visitor Lady from Central America, I’ve never been one of those radical, old fashioned, wrapped in the flag uber conservative types that get on their soapboxes and...
